From large family gatherings with a view of the lake to company events in our function room, Upper Court adapts to your needs.

The property, location, facilities are amazing. We had a large family reunion so had the entire property to ourselves with ages ranging from 20months to 80 years. Nobody was disappointed. The family are so helpful and accommodating. Would thoroughly recommend it for a couples trip or large family reunion.
